Things to see and do with kids in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires Kids Attractions

For many children travelling in Buenos Aires, the chaos of the
city can be quite intimidating, but parents need look just a little
further to find child-friendly attractions tucked away in just
about every barrio (neighbourhood).

Buenos Aires is a great city to explore on foot, but for the more
active, it is also extremely bicycle-friendly. Rent a bike and
pedal your way round the leafy suburbs and side streets. Stop off
at the Nueve de Julio Avenue, the widest avenue in the world, and
admire the 220-foot-tall (67metre) obelisk in the centre, marking
the heart of Buenos Aires. Or for a slightly more cultural
experience, take a stroll with the children past the Floralis
Genérica in Recoleta, a working metal sculpture of a flower
that opens and closes with the sun - the kids will be in awe!

For those days when the sun isn't shining, head to one of the
many indoor playgrounds or museums dotted around the city, such as
the Museo de Los Ninos, or even the Galileo Galilei Planetarium
where children will have a great time stargazing and learning about
the solar system.
